What the hell do you serve with cauliflower cheese?

[IShitChristmasGlitter]

Am making cauliflower cheese for tea tomorrow now what do you normally serve with it?

I know alot of people have it as a side dish but i want it more of a main? Am thinking maybe sliced gammon? then am stuck what else?

What do you serve with or what would you?

Sweet potato wedges and greens e.g jake, spinach, stem veg.

Sausage and mash.

Gammon

Gammon/sausages and a green veg. I’ve woken up really hungry this morning and this thread is making it worse!

We have it chips, bacon and mushrooms.

WE have it with sausages, mash/cabbage and copious amounts of gravy. Also have it sometimes with a roast.

Broccoli.

Pasta and cauliflower cheese (as one dish)

Smoked haddock. Lush.

Chips and peas or garlic bread and salad. We only ever have it as a main meal, never as an accompaniment to meat.

Sausages, total comfort food.

Add macaroni and peas to the cheese sauce (some cooked chopped bacon or pancetta is lovely as well), then sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese over the top. Whole meal in itself

Smoked streaky bacon. Grill it then chop it into the cheese sauce.

I often do it as a main - a cauliflower/macaroni cheese combo.

Extra (very cheesy, with extra mature cheddar) cheese sauce, cook cauliflower al dente and macaroni separately, drain both thoroughly, mix with sauce, scatter breadcrumbs and a little extra grated cheese on top, whack under the grill for a few minutes to brown.
Yum. Funnily enough I'm doing this tonight.
Sometimes I do a cauli/broccoli/macaroni combo, too.

I once made it for very unexpected guests since I didn't have enough of anything else - went down very well.

Cold sliced meat (gammon is good) and mashed potatoes

Cumberland Sausage & Cauliflower Cheese work well together

Top tip: allow the cooked cauli to cool in the colander before putting on the dish and adding cheese sauce, or the steam makes your lovely rich sauce watery

Thank you so much for this. If I ever try to make a cauli (and, sometimes, broccoli) cheese bake it always goes watery. I did read that cooking it less would help; it didn't. Now I know what to do!

I make a bake with breadcrumbs on top and have a green side vegetable with it.
Delicious simplicity.

Sausages! Delia has a recipe where you serve it with brown cooked with onion, celery and carrot. It works really well. Delicious.

Boiled new potatoes and either some battered fish or a nut cutlet thing.

We have it as a main, with a green salad and vinaigrette. Cuts through the richness of the cheese sauce beautifully.

I grill my cauli cheese. Surely that stops the watery issue?

Baked beans and sausages

A sausage and some chips

Chips

Grilled tomatoes and crisps.

Mash and loads of gravy my fave especially with cauliflower cheese I do add a bit of horseradish sauce to give it a bit of a kick to it. Perfect belly filling food for cold days x
